Probing laser-driven surface and subsurface dynamics via grazing-incidence XFEL scattering and diffraction
Lisa Randolph, Ãzgül Ãztürk, Dmitriy Ksenzov +34
We demonstrate a grazing-incidence x-ray platform that simultaneously records time-resolved grazing-incidence small-angle x-ray scattering (GISAXS) and grazing-incidence x-ray diff…
Probing ultrafast heating and ionization dynamics in solid density plasmas with time-resolved resonant X-ray absorption and emission
Lingen Huang, Mikhail Mishchenko, Michal Å mÃd +34
Heating and ionization are among the most fundamental processes in relativistic laser--solid interactions; however, their spatiotemporal evolution remains challenging to capture ex…
XFEL Imaging Techniques for High Energy Density and Inertial Fusion Energy Research at HED-HiBEF
Alejandro Laso Garcia, Mikhail Mishchenko, Victorien Bouffetier +53
The imaging platform developed at the High Energy Density - Helmholtz International Beamline for Extreme Fields (HED-HiBEF) instrument at the European XFEL and its applications to…
Microscopy X-ray Imaging enriched with Small Angle X-ray Scattering for few nanometer resolution reveals shock waves and compression in intense short pulse laser irradiation of solids
Thomas Kluge, Arthur Hirsch-Passicos, Jannis Schulz +23
Understanding how laser pulses compress solids into high-energy-density states requires diagnostics that simultaneously resolve macroscopic geometry and nanometer-scale structure.…
High-Quality Ultra-Fast Total Scattering and Pair Distribution Function Data using an X-ray Free Electron Laser
Adam F. Sapnik, Philip A. Chater, Dean S. Keeble +48
High-quality total scattering data, a key tool for understanding atomic-scale structure in disordered materials, require stable instrumentation and access to high momentum transfer…
Demonstration of full-scale spatio-temporal diagnostics of solid-density plasmas driven by an ultra-short relativistic laser pulse using an X-ray free-electron laser
Lingen Huang, Michal Å mÃd, Long Yang +42
Understanding the complex plasma dynamics in ultra-intense relativistic laser-solid interactions is of fundamental importance to the applications of laser plasma-based particle acc…
